her destiny "love"

chapter 8:friendship wins always

As Misha and Marg shared a moment together, Arvish observed them from a distance, finding himself increasingly drawn to Misha. He reflected that she would never intrude upon their bond the way that other girl had with Samarth.

As time passed, everyone became absorbed in their work, but Arvish and Misha found themselves stealing glances at each other amidst their tasks. Whenever their eyes met, a subtle electricity seemed to pass between them, causing them to break eye contact. Each glance held a moment of unspoken connection, quietly igniting a budding attraction between them.

As evening fell and everyone began heading home, Anaya and Misha stood waiting for a taxi. Suddenly, a car pulled up in front of them-it was Samarth's car.

Samarth: "Come on, hop in girls. Let's go for dinner."

Anaya: "I think the only plan that never gets canceled is the one made by pulling up a car like this in front of us." (teasing Misha)

Anaya opened the back door, subtly signaling her desire for Misha to spend more time with Samarth. Misha, noticing Arvish looking at her from a distance, felt a mix of defiance and intrigue at his gaze. "You weren't deterred by my warning," she thought, sensing an intensity in his eyes that ignited something within her.

SAMARTH, interrupting MISHA's though- it's a long day!

ANAYA (tiredly)- yes! It is, I am so tired that I can hear food is calling me.

Misha exclaimed, "Samarth! We're friends, right?"

Samarth replied confidently, "Yes, we are. And I think both of you are the only ones I can truly call my friends in college. Is there something bothering you?"

Misha hesitated momentarily before saying, "No, it's just that I overheard your argument with Eclipse."

Anaya interjected fiercely, "What? Did they bother you, Samarth? Tell me, I'll confront each one of them and make sure they regret it."

Misha, knowing how easily Anaya was provoked by Eclipse, smirked and added, "It wasn't a one-sided argument, was it, Samarth?"

Samarth, unsure of how to explain himself, nervously responded, "Well, there's a lot going on. After such a long day, I just don't have the energy to think about it right now."

They arrived at the restaurant, where Misha was engrossed in her phone while Samarth gallantly opened the car door for her, offering his hand as she graciously accepted with a soft smile. Inside, they ordered their food and engaged in lively conversation about the day's events and various interesting topics.

Midway through their meal, Misha noticed Vivan at another table and decided to invite him over. However, Vivan initially ignored her, preoccupied with Samarth's presence. Undeterred, Misha stood up and approached Vivan calmly.

Misha: "Hey Vivan, I just called you over. Is there a reason you don't want to join us?"

Vivan glanced at Misha and then at Samarth's table before replying, "No, I just prefer to eat alone, that's all."

Anaya intervened, leaving her seat to join Misha, and said firmly, "You're only 22, you have plenty of time to eat alone. Enjoy your adulthood and join us."

Vivan acquiesced and joined their table, adding to the tension and discomfort between Arvish and Samarth.

Misha called the waiter over.

Waiter: "Yes, ma'am, what would you like to order?"

Samarth interrupted confidently, without hesitation, "White sauce pasta and tortilla española."
